Progress MS-34 Cargo Spacecraft Arrival | International Space Station

Russian Progress MS-34 Cargo Spacecraft Arrival | International Space Station

Russian Progress MS-34 (Progress 95) spacecraft approaches the International Space Station


International Space Station Configuration: Five spaceships are parked at the space station including the SpaceX Crew-12 Dragon, Northrop Grumman’s Cygnus XL, the Soyuz MS-28 crew ship, and the Progress 94 and 95 resupply ships.

Expedition 74 station commander and cosmonaut Sergey-Kud Sverchkov: "Last night, the Progress MS-34 spacecraft docked with us automatically! We were eagerly awaiting this ship. In addition to the usual fuel, air, water, and other necessary supplies, it brought a new spacesuit for EVA, experiment materials, and long-awaited parcels from home."

The uncrewed Russian Roscosmos Progress 95 (also known as "Progress MS-34") spacecraft docked to the aft port of the International Space Station’s Zvezda module at 8 p.m. EDT Monday.

The spacecraft is delivering about three tons of food, fuel, and supplies for the Expedition 74 crew. It will remain docked to the orbiting laboratory for about six months before departing for a planned destructive re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere to dispose of trash loaded by the crew.

It launched at 6:21 p.m. EDT April 25, 2026 (3:21 a.m. Baikonur time April 26) on a Russian Soyuz rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
